Sing
Geraldine Raybould
Sing a song of happiness Sing a song of joy To chase away your loneliness Just open up the door. Invite the music in Let the message make you warm Feel the prickle on your skin The notes a perfect uniform. Soft and easy the music flows Where new friendships begin The twain to wash away your woes Falicity is yours perchance to win.
